BATTERY INFORMATION
Battery Care and Tips
This product is powered by a nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cd),
nickel-metal-hydride (NiMH), or lithium-ion
rechargeable battery.
The following battery tips will help you obtain the
highest performance and longest cycle life from your
Motorola rechargeable battery.
¥
Charge your new battery overnight (14-16 hrs)
before using it to obtain maximum battery
capacity and performance.
¥
Charging in non-Motorola equipment may lead
to battery damage and void the battery warranty.
¥
When charging a battery that is attached to the
radio, turn the radio off to ensure a full charge.
¥
The battery should be at about 25¡C (room
temperature) whenever possible. Charging a
cold battery (below 10¡C) may result in leakage
of electrolyte and ultimately, in failure of the
battery.
¥
Charging a hot battery (above 35¡C) results in
reduced discharge capacity, affecting the
¥
New batteries can be stored up to two years
without signiÞcant cycle loss. Store new/unused
batteries, at room temperature, in cool dry area.
¥
Batteries which have been in storage should be
charged overnight.
¥
Do not return fully charged batteries to the
charger for an Òextra boostÓ. This action will
signiÞcantly reduce cycle life.
¥
Do not leave your radio and battery in the
charger when not charging. Continuous charging
will shorten battery life. (Do not use your charger
as a radio stand.)
¥
For optimum battery life and operation use only
Motorola brand chargers. They were designed to
operate as an integrated energy system.

At the end of its useful life, the NiCd battery can be
recycled. However, recycling facilities may not be
available in all areas.
Motorola endorses and encourages the recycling of all
re-chargeable batteries. Contact your local Motorola
dealer for further information.
Charging the Battery
If a battery is new, or its charge level is very low, you
will need to charge the battery before you can use it in
your radio.
Please contact your dealer for further information.
Note: Batteries are shipped uncharged from the
factory. New batteries could prematurely
indicate full charge, charge a new battery for
14-16 hrs before initial use.

Your Motorola Two-Way Radio, which generates and
radiates radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic energy
(EME) is designed to comply with the following National
and International Standards and Guidelines regarding
exposure of human beings to radio frequency
electromagnetic energy:

!
When transmitting with a portable
radio, hold the radio in a vertical
position with its microphone 2.5 to 5
centimeters (1 to 2 inches) away from your mouth.
Keep antenna at least 2.5 centimeters (1 inch) from
your head and body.
If you wear a portable two-way radio on your body,
ensure that the antenna is at least 2.5 centimeters
(1 inch) from your body when transmitting.
MAN WITH RA
Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility
Note: Nearly every electronic device is susceptible
to electromagnetic interference (EMI) if
inadequately shielded, designed or otherwise conÞgured for electromagnetic compatibility.
To avoid electromagnetic interference and/or
compatibility conßicts, turn off your radio in any
facility where posted notices instruct you to do so.
Hospitals or health care facilities may be using
equipment that is sensitive to external RF energy.
When instructed to do so, turn off your radio when
on board an aircraft. Any use of a radio must be in
accordance with airline regulations or crew
instructions.

Vehicles With an Air Bag
WARNING
Do not place a portable radio in the area over an air
bag or in the air bag deployment area. Air bags
inßate with great force. If a portable radio is placed
in the air bag deployment area and the air bag
inßates, the radio may be propelled with great force
and cause serious injury to occupants of the vehicle.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Turn off your two-way radio when you are in any
area with a potentially explosive
atmosphere, unless it is a radio type especially
qualiÞed for use in such areas (for example, Factory
Mutual or CENELEC Approved). Sparks in a
potentially explosive atmosphere can cause an
explosion or Þre resulting in bodily injury or even
death.
Batteries
Do not replace or recharge batteries in a potentially
explosive atmosphere. Contact sparking may occur
while installing or removing batteries and cause an
explosion.
Batteries
To avoid possible interference with blasting
operations, turn off your radio when you are near
electrical blasting caps, in a blasting area, or in
areas posted: ÒTurn off two-way radio.Ó Obey all
signs and instructions.
All batteries can cause property damage and/or
bodily injury such as burns if a conductive material
such as jewellery, keys, or beaded chains touch
exposed terminals. The conductive material may
complete an electrical circuit (short circuit) and
become quite hot. Exercise care in handling any
charged battery, particularly when placing it inside a
pocket, purse, or other container with metal objects.
Note:
The areas with potentially explosive atmospheres
referred to above include fueling areas such as:
below decks on boats; fuel or chemical transfer or
storage facilities; areas where the air contains
chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust or metal
powders; and any other area where you would
normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.
Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres are
often but not always posted.
!
¥ The use of chemicals such as
detergents, alcohol, aerosol
Caution
sprays, and/or petroleum
products may be harmful to and damage the
radio housing.
¥ Avoid physical abuse of the radio such as
carrying it by the antenna.
Operational Cautions
!
Damaged Antennas
General Radio Care
Caution
Do not use any portable two-way radio that has a
damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna comes
